She has been writing before she could even spell properly, and her passion has been fine tuned and funneled since then into a love of cinema and the arts. Though hailing from the wild and wonderful West Virginia, she moved on to collect a Bachelor's degree from Ohio University and has since called Cincinnati home. Her adventurous spirit can be seen in her writing and love of fantasy and science fiction. Her professional career began in the art department, quickly rising from set dresser positions to working as an art director and production/costume designer on a handful of films. Meanwhile, she continues to write, direct and act.
